Playlist
from March 19, 2013

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

and then getting out the tascam and recording a psychotic episode...

GOD, you can't prove it. Show your work. Anyway you could call it a necessary evil (can't get enough pledges with a silent or semi-silent fundraiser); to us "fanboys" and anybody who loves great talk radio, it's fun.

Thank GOD:
I know its evil, and necessary. I just wish there was another way. This idea of people legitimately enjoying it is new... im getting used to it. A survey might answer whether 1% or 50% or 99% love the marathon

glenn:
nobody, really, truly deep down pinky swear loves marathons, but it's gotta be done, so you might as well accept it and enjoy it. lie back and think of england, in other words.

never heard anyone say they "fucking hate" the marathon before. i love the dj duos and the public opportunity to give back... i think its some of the best radio of the year.

Planet Tyler:
I like the marathon, "love" might be going a bit far. It's nice to hear people winning something every 15 mins. Maybe you have to actually pledge to like it (sorry for that... the name "god" just brings it out)

Tue. 3/19/13 3:56pm
Ike:
Wrong, Glenn, I deep down love it. At least when there is an amazing DJ pairing. Not so much when a pair fizzles, but that goes with the territory. Also let's PLEASE retire the phrase "lie back... England," that is SO gross and squicky, dude.

I enjoy parts of the Marathon and did my part pledging what I could; that being said, I wish the Rockin'-to-Beggin' ratio were a bit higher. Also, this is the WFMU Friendship Society, right? No need to be rude/insulting to anyone.

I usually love the marathon, but if you're working, it's hard to focus w/ all of the chatter. This one was a blast, but it reminded me that I was unable to give as much as I usually do in previous marathons.

northguineahills:
But, yeah, if you had no too much to do like I did this year, it actually was very entertaining.

Thank GOD:
anyway, just happy the dry desert of nothingness on the airwaves is over....

Well, in Cincinnati they say"eat a bag of chicken-fried dicks" but I would never say that because I'm a proper lady.

i never said i hate the marathon. i actually kinda like it. but for the people who don't like it, i refer back to my previous post, which ike took exception to. or is it with? i'm never sure.;

joe:
I respect the fact that God does not like the marathon what I take exception to is he insinuation that if you do like the marathon then there is an issue with you. That to me comes off a bit hypocritical.

Cheri Pi:
hahaha TfC. you are lucky to have her :)

Fuzzy:
I don't hate the Marathon, but I'm with NorthGuineaHills about the chatter being a distraction when you're surfing/reading/working. Maybe they could do the pledge breaks about every half hour or so -- that wouldn't be too bad...

But Iggy can moo. He should contribute voiceover to the unmade woof-moo jingle.

@joe:
where oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I found true love,
you met another, and pffft you was gone.

Cecile:
You can kind of sing love rollercoaster to this.

Wow, haven't thought of Old Skull in almost 20 years, their wiki page is quite depressing.

Cecile:
yeah, NEVER shove your kids in a band. Hanson had ridiculous amounts of family support, and even they had a rough transition.

Tue. 3/19/13 4:58pm
Cheri Pi:
Cecile and I have seen it all, managing those highschool bands- those kids should have been going to prom or glee club. Instead we were working them to death in speakeasies on school nights. But I'd do it all again.

Thanks NGH and 'Cile!
If it takes awhile to get compatible headphones, I'll turn to my classic listener ingenuity, like hollowing out a mechanical pencil and connecting it to the audio card with a chain of paperclips; I'll find a way ;)

Marathon has fun bits but quite long (tho' necessary)
